Brief description of study

The aim of this study is to biobank blood and stool samples of healthy individuals receiving β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) supplementation. Additionally, this study will determine whether BHB supplementation increases serum BHB levels and leads to changes in T cell phenotype, including composition (i.e. CD4/CD8), and cytokine secretion. BHB supplementation will be performed through oral administration of HVMN Ketone-IQ, a commercially available BHB supplement, with an active ingredient of R-1,3-Butanediol, which gets converted to BHB.

Detailed description of study

This is a preliminary study to biobank blood and stool samples following oral BHB supplementation in healthy subjects
